  • "Could not recommend the cottage highly enough."

    The owner was more than helpful and the cottage itself was beautiful and extremely clean ( by far the cleanest we have stayed in). Facilities were of top quality and the hamper was amazing. Location is perfect, close enough to all Whitby has to offer but in an area that is quiet of an evening. Will definitely be booking to stay again. The only minor negative to mention was a slight issue with the letting agent but soon resolved with the help of the owner.

    Thank you so much for your review. We apprciate you noting the cleanliness. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Kind Regards Boo & Julie Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely 10 night holiday at this cottage."

    The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed. There was a lovely welcome pack when we arrived. The location of the cottage is great it is in the centre of Whitby, a short walk to pubs, cafés and the harbour. It was nice to have an outside space to sit out in. The cottage doesn't have parking outside, but we always found a place to park a few minutes walk away and used the parking permit. We stopped in the loading space on Pier Road to drop off our luggage.

    Thank you for your kind comments. We are pleased you and your family enjoyed your stay at Midships Cottage. We hope you made some wonderful memories at Whitby. Wishing you and your family the best for future. Kindest Regards Boo & Julie Property Owner

  • "Good directions to location."

    Disapointed no welcome pack, emptying the dish washer(thought housekeeping would jave done this, no toilet paper, no rubbish bin liners in bin but bin very wet with something at bottom, no instructions about where to put refuse) poor housekeeping. Beds very comfortable and linen good and clean. Interesting heating system, coming on at night, althougj nice to have towel rail for drying shower towels. Would rate maintenance higher but! as above. As we should have been in Greece fed up about housekeeping. Enjoyed area and will visit again but not sure return to Midships. Will be interested in response.

    Hello Anna, Thank you for the feed back.I can only sincerely apologise.Its not normal for housekeeping to have left the cottage without doing these things. Housekeeping sincerely apologise too. My contact details should have been passed to you when you completed the booking process. I would have had this resolved had I known. I am once again sorry for this. I am please you enjoyed Whitby area,it is beautiful,and if you do wish to give us a second chance and stay again. I will ensure not only is the cottage left as I would expect it, there will be a special complimentary welcome pack for you. All the best, Kind Regards M Ahmad Property Owner
